On weekdays I provide essential and informative travel tips, with a different subject each day!
“What’s the matter with you? Sing me something new”- Noel Gallagher.

While the epic 1997 Oasis album”Be Here Now” was inspired and written partly on the island of Mustique, 4decades later I Read more about Thirsty Thursdays: Touring The Pubs of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines🇻🇨[…]
“Cold cold heart undone by you” Elton John.

The day before I landed at Beef Island in the British Virgin Read more about Backpacking in The British Virgin Islands🇻🇬: New Year’s Eve 2021 at Trellis Bay And Sleeping On A Settee On Beef Island To Welcome 2022[…]
“A very big house in the country” – Damon Albarn. Dominica came as a big surprise to me.

When I first heard of “Globe Rovers” (I misread “Globerovers” as two words), I thought it was a football team! I was expecting them to draw 1-1 with Chimney Corner away in the Irish Cup preliminary round. Of course, it’s not a football team – it’s the excellent magazine and website run by Peter Steyn.
